Okay, well, don't get banned over me. . . Also, understand this-- when I said you should watch more games, it wasn't meant as a dig at all. I was serious-- you SHOULD watch some more, because they're a legitimately fun, exciting young team. They have consistently played their best against top competition, which is what gives me confidence that they will be fine in the playoffs. And if they're not, then it's still better to learn and fight their way through that. If anything, their main problem in the playoffs will be amping up their physicality, and IT obviously doesn't help with that. And as far as defense, lots of top players play tough D, especially in the playoffs. It's a big part of why the Heat won, and why the Warriors and Spurs win. Even if he gets healthy, IT is a short term fix that will still leave us well short of the top teams. And there aren't enough minutes for him and Murray, nor is it worth all that cash just to stunt Jamal's development. You're not wrong that a more proven scorer would be a nice addition, but they badly need a replacement for the near-useless Chandler-- especially because none of the other wings or forwards on the team is a natural fit at the three, except maybe old ass RJ. The Nugs have a sufficiency of guards and bigs, it doesn't help the roster construction at all to add another G. Plus they need to maintain some salary cap space, which they already don't have a ton of. As it is they're going to need to move Chandler and Faried to free up space to sign Jokic (and eventually Murray) to sizeable extensions.

Nah, bruh. IT doesn't make any sense to me in the greater scheme of things.

Oh, come on. You ride Layne like a rented mule over hoops, but I can't exchange a bit of aggressive banter with you? Don't be mad cuz I broke yer idea down. Tell me where I was wrong, and I'll rescind it. Have you watched many of their games this year?
